The Slow Listening Revolution
Shortly after my record, Element 115 (Uup) came out, my then-boyfriend was diagnosed with cancer. His name was James Atkins. He was my biggest cheerleader in putting my record out myself after Fin Records folded. I will always be grateful to him for that particular encouragement. Unfortunately James lost his battle with cancer on Feb 27th. We poured his ashes in Puget Sound last weekend and I am trying to get on with my life. New Music Box, specifically Frank Oteri, asked me to write a blog series last autumn, shortly after the record came out. I wasn't able to do anything during this time except care for James, which was pretty much a full-time job. Frank got a hold of me a month ago, following what little I published about my life on Facebook and asked me if I would like a perhaps well needed distraction from cancer and death to write that blog series. So here is the first installment. I hope you like it. Thanks Frank! Next one coming out Monday May 16th.

This is nice and I have learned that patience is needed in this world. Music can heal our scars and it can help us to start a new. Recording songs will be my hobby that will make me happier and wiser. I will record my song and I will create a song that will heal the scars of the person that is there and will give him the cure that he needed. I will make this happen today.
